The Conservatives' popular vote fell from almost 60% to just over 40%, and took nine seats, forming the official opposition.

Two other seats were won by independents.

Frank Harry Mobley won the seat for the Liberal Party in his first attempt at provincial politics, winning almost 10 percentage points more of the popular vote than his opponent Mr William McDonald. Mr Mobley was on the first council for the city of Prince Rupert and was President of the Board of Trade in 1912.

Always one of the province's largest ridings by area, it was always among the smallest in population, and is often cited as an example of a lack of proper representation-by-population in the BC political system. From the perspective of riding residents, who are spread out in a handful of small settlements from the Nass River to the Yukon border, a riding incorporating larger population centres was unfair to them. Ultimately the pressure to redress lack of equality in voting-weight among BC ridings saw the Atlin riding became merged with Skeena riding.

Atlin, British Columbia

Atlin is a community in northwestern British Columbia, Canada, located on Atlin Lake. It can be reached from an unnumbered road in British Columbia that connects with the Atlin Road, Yukon territorial highway 7.

Gold mining originally gave Atlin its reason for existence. The Atlin Gold Rush came to Atlin Lake country in 1898 and was one of the richest offshoots of the Klondike Gold Rush. By the end of the mining season of 1899 about 5,000 people had flocked to the region, and Atlin was a busy and important town. Although production was greatest in the early years, the Atlin field still produces today. Total placer gold production has exceeded $23 000 000.
